Newsies is a 1992 musical film starring Christian Bale, David Moscow, and Bill Pullman. Robert Duvall and Ann-Margret also appeared in supporting roles. The movie is widely claimed to have gained a cult following after its initial failure at the box office.
- Changing times. In 1992, musical films were out of fashion. This happens with all kinds of film genres; one moment, a certain type of movie is the in thing and the next, general audiences lose interest, gravitating towards something else.
- Character enhancements. In its latest iteration, Disney’s Newsies has more female characters, which means it offers more for both male and female audiences.
- New songs. While the film’s premise remains pretty much unchanged, a number of new or updated songs have been added to the theatrical production, including Watch What Happens, Brooklyn’s Here and Something to Believe in.
- Updated lyrics. In revamped form, Newsies features lyrics that better chime with modern-day concerns, which makes sense given that one of the musical’s taglines is ‘The perfect musical for our time’.
